netrox said: Why is it bleeding? Probably because banks make money on credit cards by charging late fees and high interest on customers who carry large balances and make the minimum payment. Keep in mind, that a bank pays a fee to the co…

My ex-Sun colleague was the system rep on Google when Sun attempted to originally negotiate a Java license. Sun spent year attempting to negotiate such a license, but Google decided they could develop their own 'clean room' Java Runtime on their own…

Excellent choice! Gelsinger is a long-time Intel executive, before going to VMWave, and will turn the ship around...

In spite of Intel's recent challenges (many self-inflicted), for a Hedge Fund CEO to call for 'to boost its position as a provider of chips for computers and data centers' seems like an empty statement. Intel already controls 90%+ of these markets a…

Once these come down to around $350 and have a decent case, I'm in. Should be around this time next year

Seems like a pretty compelling case of collusion and price-fixing. Don't these people take their own Compliance training?

Most employees will remain where they are or work from home. My own company, Dell, is based in Austin but has operations globally. This really doesn't change much. Companies will still pay state income taxes, on their local operations, and employees…

If Apple had prices these out of the gate, at $349, they would be a run away hit. At $549, they will sell only to the most devoted Apple enthusiast. Also, as others have pointed out these would be great for airline travel which ain't happening much …

Got in a few minutes after 5:00AM PST and ordered a Max in Blue w/256GB RAM. Delivers next Friday 😃

Seems that Governors who rail against ‘Socialism’ are quick to use subsidies to lure companies to their states.

Covid-19 has definitely impacted supply chains. I work for a computer manufacturer (not Apple) and the market is just now getting caught up on severe NAND shortages. I expect capacity, in China, is no longer an issue however NAND shortages coupled w…

Interesting that Apple would announce the A14 on the iPad Air and not their flagship iPhone. Perhaps 5nm yields as such that the iPhone was delayed? In any case, the A14 is a very impressive piece of engineering. I would expect that Apple will also …

It will be interesting to see if or how Apple unifies the Mac and iPad through things like touchscreens, on a Mac, and keyboards on iPads. Since both devices will be using the same CPU and other components will the major differences be software? All…

I remain skeptical. Not because I don't think Apple can pull this off. They've done it 2x before so clearly they can. Consumers probably won't notice any difference other than better battery life, etc. Will large corporations buy any laptop that doe…

I'm still skeptical that Apple's ARM designs will 'replace' and not 'augment' Intel in the Macintosh. However, one thing that ARM does give Apple is the ability to design it's own iOS and iPadOS compatible CPU without having to licensing or royaltie…

I hope Apple can pull off an ARM-based Mac, but call me skeptical. On a 12" light, thin machine like the defunct 'MacBook' sure. On higher end Macs? Again I am extremely skeptical. Two things Apple has going for it: 1. They have successfully done pr…

Full disclosure. I formerly worked at Apple and now work at Dell. My personal system is a MacBook Pro while my work system is of course Dell (Latitude 7400). It's always amazed me that Apple could take essentially a single platform and sell it to bo…

This seems consistent with Apple wanting to sell more product in India which does have some local content laws. Diversifying Global Supply Chains and Manufacturing has got to make business sense. Remember, corporations operate in the interests of th…

Most of Intel's chip manufacturing facilities are already in the United States (Oregon and Arizona) so I am not sure what they are talking about. TSMC (aka Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) has manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, Mainland …
